From the narrative of the 4th industrial revolution to the brave new world of the post pandemic era, digital transformation is geared to influence every aspect of our lives and our perception of reality.
Creativity will be further facilitated and accelerated as intelligent tools and massive digital libraries will assist the development of new ways of thinking and working in the creative industries.
Dr. Lympouridis’ talk will offer some insights, trends and thoughts towards enabling future realities in creative industries.

The intervention will focus on the main objectives of the New Industrial Strategy for Europe and on how we can support businesses in the transition towards a green economy, through cross-innovation and by tightening collaboration between creatives and technology providers.
Dr. Eleftheria Maria Pechlivani & Dr. Dimosthenis Ioannidis
Institute (ITI) of the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH)
The new digital technologies, to which 3D printing belongs, are processes that lead to the preservation, development and disclosure of our heritage. This can be through creating complex shapes and new works for reproducing, restoring or preserving artifacts, and educating a wider audience on history and arts.
Furthermore, through the use of complementary digital technologies such as Virtual and Augmented Reality, the public can access cultural heritage and artwork in an immersive manner, either by incorporating animation, storytelling and reconstruction during a physical visit or by providing remote access to cultural exhibits and activities.
Their talk will offer an overview of the aforementioned digital technologies for Cultural Heritage & Arts, implemented in several EU and National funding projects.
Dani Joss
Tech Manager of Die Wolke Art Group
Die Wolke art group’s interactive performance projects use wireless inertial and electromechanical sensor interfaces in order to obtain motion data from dancers’ bodies and process the information in real time to modulate audiovisual material.
A framework of hardware and software tools has been developed that allows the system to be scalable and adaptable to a wide array of performative scenarios, such as intermedial composition or improvisation.
Die Wolke’s focus has been to approach the subject from multiple points of view, concentrating on functionality, aesthetics, experimentalism, or conceptualisation, depending on the project. The case studies presented are individual, standalone pieces, while at the same time waypoints towards a philosophy of the applied aesthetics of technology.
